LilyPond 2.5.1 is out. This is an experimental release,
containing some proof-of-concept code for our graphical
layout editor. You can add and remove things from the file,
and the tweaks will still work, as long as the tweaked notes
remain in the place (ie. start at the same time-wise and be
part of the same context). Further attractions are: the
gnome backend now also draws beams and slurs, updates to the
SVG backend, support for the lmodern font set for TeX,
various bugfixes.

The LilyPond development is OPEN once again! The first
release of the 2.5 series has the following new Features:
Positioning of slurs can now be adjusted manually, Grace
notes are correctly quoted and formatted when using cue
notes, Cue notes can now be created with

\cueDuring #VOICE-NAME #DIRECTION { MUSIC }

Stemlets (short stems over beamed rests) have been added.
In addition, Jan hacked together some highly experimental
code where you can use the mouse to drag and drop objects in
the -f gnome backend. These tweaks can be saved and are
applied to the PS and TeX output as well.

LilyPond 2.3.16 was released. It fixes a couple of annoying
bugs, and has an important addition in the slur-formatter. Slurs that
pass note heads much closer than the average distance get an extra
penalty. This fixes a lot of difficult slurring cases. See
input/regression/new-slur for some examples.
Please consider this release as a 3.0 pre-release so try to find as
many bugs as possible. A report including a small .ly example
can be filed at bug-lilypond@gnu.org
In this case, a bug is defined as something that the current 2.3 does
worse than the latest 2.2 release. We want to be sure that no output
will get uglier by upgrading to 3.0, so that once 3.0 is out, nothing
will hold users back in switching.

input/test/ directory. Many examples have been moved to the regression
test or manual, and the superfluous or outdated ones have been
removed. The directory has gone from 146 examples to 72 examples. That
means that we’re halfway cleaning it out. Incidentally, the manual
has gone from 200 to 220 pages. New features:

Running trills now have their own spanner and event. They are
started and stopped with \startTrillSpan and \stopTrillSpan

There is a new markup command ‘\postscript’ that takes a string
that is dumped as verbatim PostScript

July 30, 2004

LilyPond 2.3.9 is out. The important change is that lilypond
now once-again directly runs the binary. The old wrapper script has
been renamed to lilypond-latex.py, and should only be used for legacy
projects. The recommended route is either using lilypond directly
(with \book, you can have multiple movements within one document), or
to run lilypond-book with a LaTeX wrapper file.
This release also fixes a bunch of small errors. I now consider
LilyPond feature complete for a 3.0 release. Next on the TODO list is
updating the manual, and after that’s done we can release 3.0. The
projected date for this to happen is in about a month.

Slurs will now also take into account collisions with staff
lines, scripts (like staccato and accent) and accidentals. In
the LilyPond emacs mode, the ‘|’ will now display the current
beat within the measure.
